Mud Bay – Portland Downtown

Mud Bay is a pioneer in the natural pet food movement, and their Downtown Portland location continues their legacy of providing high-quality nutrition and health-focused products for dogs and cats. Mud Bay began as a small family-run farm store in 1988 and has since grown into one of the largest employee-owned pet retailers in the Pacific Northwest. They are famous for their ‘Muddies’—highly trained staff members who spend hundreds of hours learning about pet nutrition and physiology to better assist customers. The store offers a vast array of natural foods, toys, and gear, with a particular focus on brands that prioritize sustainable and ethical sourcing. Mud Bay is dedicated to education, often providing free resources to help pet owners understand the complex world of pet food labels. Their commitment to the well-being of animals extends to their frequent partnerships with local shelters and rescue organizations throughout the Portland area.
